I was trying to think of simple legal changes that would make America better for everyone.

The first one that comes to mind is: "Set corporate fines for ANYTHING to be minimum 150% of the money they profited from their lawbreaking, as assessed independently by the government".

Get rid of the concept as "fines as a cost of doing business" and turn them into actual deterrents.

This comes from Yet Another "Oopsie' from local chemical plants.

Penetrate the corporate veil and take the investments of the major stockholders before depleting the profits still retained in the corporate accounts. That will encourage a) oversight by investors over corporate malfeasance, and b) incentivize treating non-stockholding employees as important to the future of the company.
